It has been such a pleasure to re-read all these books that have filled my life for so long, both with Mark and with all of you - I've thoroughly enjoyed the comments and thanks to all your insightful posts I have learnt an awful lot - and I got to re-read Shepherd's Crown, which I had never managed to do after the initial painful read-through.
It's sad to say farewell so such a massive part of my life, but at the same time it's been a lot of fun and got me through some really tough times. So thank you, everyone. I look forward to reading (and possibly even commenting) on future projects.

Uh, the Patrician specifically is a dictator, but he's a smart, benevolent one who intends to be a dictator tomorrow as well. He doesn't constantly rule with an iron fist, but he could, if he were content with the knowledge that he'd be starting an uprising against him in short order.He only clamps down on things that threaten the city. Oh, and mime artists."
Well, there is a kind of democracy - as PTerry says in Mort - "Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote."
